Overall, 19 and 24 isn't much of a problem. You're both in the same generation and quite close in age. You would do well to simply have some fun (but please, don't be stupid!) and, along the way, you'll learn more about your guy--and yourself--that will help you decide how serious you want to relationship to get.

Personally, I think that's too much at your age. Once you get into your mid - late 20's, the age thing stops being such a big deal. I have a friend who's four years older than her husband. I'm a year older than mine. And I have a friend whose husband is 10 years older than she is. I will tell you, though, that her husband has a hard time when we're all together. I think a few years when you're older, is no big deal. But I do think the 10 yr thing is a bit much, but it's not me, so whatever works for them. But right now, for you, this guy has already been able to do a lot of things for several years, that you (probably) haven't yet been exposed to. You'll always be trying to keep up with him, even if you don't think so. I know guys are really immature right now. And the enticement of an older, more sophisticated guy is strong. But, just wait a few years and the guys will catch up to you. Then, you'll be ready to really choose someone to be with and not just because there wasn't anyone else.

The reason you are confused is because there's a million people on here answering with a million different points of view. In most cases, there is no right or wrong answer, especially in relationship questions. At any rate, MY opinion of him being 24 and you being 19 is that it's perfect. And it's also my opinion that a good age difference can be from same age to 30 years difference, depending on the people and circumstances.. I have seen all kinds of relationships work very well that do NOT fit the standard mode of thinking.

The problem with 19 vs. 24 is the person who's 24 already has a job, most likely a degree, and some kind of career starting to take off. You will probably also get a lot of pressure to start a family sooner than you might like.

In order to be together you would have to sacrifice most of your own goals and ambitions--is that worth it to you?

That kind of relationship can work, as long as the younger person doesn't mind putting their own goals on the backseat while the older person continues to establish their career. It sounds very sexist but it's the only way I've seen it work

The thing about age difference is really more about maturity and your places in your lives. 19 and 17 is a bit of a difference because one is college-aged and the other is still in high school - two totally different places in life. If you and the 24-year-old are both on the same level of matureness and both at similar places in life, then it's fine.

I honestly think that is a perfect age difference. When I was 24 I got along incredibly well with girls around 19.

No more than 7 years

Their is no good age limit my husband and i are 7 years apart but im mature for my age. it get hard sometime now that were much older now because im just getting my second wind. Just know your mate if you guys are legally of age and enjoys each company go for it. No one can decide what you like, don't let this age thing get in the way. Be happy.

I think it all depends on the person. I mean, if you fall in love with someone 5 years older then you fall in love with them. But remember, that a 24 year old might have different expectations in a relationship than you. Don't do anything that you are uncomfortable with.

That is a fine age difference, as long as you love eachother and know what you are doing, that stuff shouldn't matter. Good Luck!
